Kanye shoots down 50 Cent

Kanye West has rejected 50 Cent's proposal for a presidential-style debate ahead of both rappers' albums on 11 September, saying he will simply make music.

So, the Kanye West / 50 Cent (slightly made up) feud is growing as 11 Sep approaches. As previously reported, both hip hop stars will release new albums on that date. West has previously said he has no problems with the chart battle between him and Fiddy, saying anything that creates a bit of interest is good news, but he doesn't seem keen to get too much media mileage out of the fabricated chart battle. This week he was responding to suggestions that he and Fiddy take part in a 'presidential style' debate surrounding their two new albums, a proposal 50 Cent had responded to positively. But not so Kanye, who told MTV's TRL show on Tuesday: "I don't have beef with anyone. What am I going to debate about? I'm going to go in the studio and make music. When I heard the thing about the debate, I thought that was the stupidest thing. When my album drops and 50's album drops, you're gonna get a lot of good music at the same time".
